Frame Wreck

Frame Wreck My business started as a hobby and a fundraiser. My daughter Katie was going on a missions trip and I wanted to help her raise money. It's called a "Frameble".

Collect frames of all varieties and then re-create their purpose into something useful such as trays, chalkboards, picture hangers, picture frames, tables and benches and sell them. As I was shopping one day I had a picture in my hand and had the thought......... this would make a cool tray. Since Katie was going to Jamaica, I called the fundraiser "Jamaican me crazy". I started collecting frames

from every goodwill, salvation army and flea market in the Des Moines metro area. I painted them in all different colors and made them into all different things and really enjoyed it. I joined my sister Teresa and her daughter MacKenzie who were painting/glazing and turning old furniture into beautiful pieces. We had our first sale together and have been having shows together ever since. With help from my daughters, they came up with my new name FRAME WRECK and the caption "Where old frames and new "Funk" tion collide. They also encouraged me to join Facebook. And of course I could not do any of this without Kirby's support by hauling things in his truck to our shows and his financial support to get me started :)

Speaking of my awesome husband, Kirby and I have come up with our latest Frame Wreck item. Picture Frame turned into table. I design and paint and then he has to do the cutting and assembly. Now that we are empty nesters and my full time job as the "stay at home Mom who is never home" is finished, I am praying for my new purpose in life. Until God shows me a different path, you will see me driving my very loved van named Bessie around town, hauling things I have bought or, better yet, things that someone has decided to throw out.
